Peel Tower Circular Walk

A two-mile circular route that gives you magnificent views for miles around. When you reach Peel Tower, take a minute to catch your breath and admire the changing scenes from across Greater Manchester, the Derbyshire Pennines and over to North Wales. Peel Tower is open several days throughout the year and if you’re lucky enough to climb the steps to the top of the tower, you'll be treated to magnificent far-reaching views. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a lead during nesting season (1 March and 31 July) and near livestock.
